Lipase Bioresolution Ethyl 3-Amino-3-Phenylpropionate

Biocatalysis is very well suited to meet the criteria needed for industrially ready technology since, addressing each of the aforementioned criteria  

Biocatalysts, when derived from microbes, can be obtained in any quantity desired by fermentation of Ihe microorganisms that produce them. 

Rates of enzyme turnovers can be extremely high in favorable cases, so that only a very small amount of biocatalyst can supply a large amount of biocatalysis product. 

The process conditions are very favorable for industry, often using water as the solvent, at or near ambient temperature. 

Selectivities between enantiomers can be high, with enzymes often only converting the isomer that is structurally closest to that of its natural substrate.
